There are 7 kids in this house.
Funny thing about that.
When the kids aren't in school all day your house becomes well...
a whole lotta work to keep up with.
And here's the thing,
they all expect me to feed them
and entertain them
and clean up after them
and drive them here
and there
and over there
all while stopping at Sonic for happy hour.
And oddly..
are you ready for this groundbreaking news?
Now that school is out and they are back from camp
they are home
all.
day.
long.
What the?
So in place of my blogging time I am unloading the dishwasher for the 14th time today.
Or searching for lost swim trunks because they cannot for the life of them put them back where they go after we get home from the beach or the pool, or the sprinkler outside.
And I'm doing about 800% more laundry than normal.
And
and
and
and there's the good stuff too.
Turns out these kids...
all 7 of them...
are pretty stinkin fun to hang out with.
This is my first summer with 7.
My first summer really with the 3 latest additions since I don't really count last summer what with the move and all.
7.
Alrighty then.
I can do this.

Better do it.
Can't do it without you next year.
Just sayin'.
John and I talked about it, {rather he talked....I whined and pleaded} :) but we are going to have to wait until we move closer to it since the logistics of getting 9 of us way up there is a little nuts. Boo. Boo. Hoo.
